I am asking for prayer on behalf of one of my wifes brothers. She just received a call that he is in critical condition in a Charleston, SC hospital. He has a heart condition and is not expected to live through the night. He just turned 41 a couple of days ago. Please be in prayer for my wife Kathie also. We cut off communications with her brothers about 8 or 9 years ago because they were constantly attacking us for our beliefs in Christ. They blamed us for their inability to by beer on Sundays among other things. I'm sure that she is feeling some remorse because she will not be able to say goodbye to him as we cannot afford to go to Charleston. We believe that he is not saved. Your prayers are our strength , God bless, Jay
I look at alot of profiles each day and have noticed that alot of profile pages still have the Layout Code pasted in the About Me section. Due to the recent site updates Layout Codes no longer work properly in the About Me section or any other sections on the Profile Settings page. The correct place for your code is the CSS box. This is very easy to fix and will make your page look much nicer. Simply click on Profile Settings, go to the About Me section (or wherever you pasted the code) highlight the code, right click, click COPY. Now look on the right side of the page and you will see box marked SETTINGS CENTER. Click on Profile Layout, scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see PROFLIE LAYOUT CODES - CSS ( Advanced Users ) Right click in this box , click PASTE. Now just click Save Profile Settings button under the CSS box and your page is fixed. If this does not fix your page or if you have any questions feel free to message me and I will be gald to help.

mcdv1: Our dear, sweet Nichi was released from his physical pain 10:10 pm yesterday (July 24, 2007). We, his immediate family, were all there as he let out his last breath in peace. Nichi left his body that bore a smile on its face. He died in the bedroom where he used to sleep, just as he wished. We are confident that he will soon be in the arms of our Lord for Nichi had always been a very good boy.
mcdv1: Msge I received from Nichi's family...
Just thought I would pass this along. Please be in prayer for his family.
Between the Pages   little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages.
"Momma, look what I found," the boy called out.
"What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I think it's Adam's suit!" 
For those of you that do not already know, I am the caretaker for a christian camp/retreat. I also live here with my family. About two weeks ago the group that was here had informed me that they would be using our ball field on Wednesday. I am trying to get it to seed in better so I put off cutting it as long as possible. It normally takes about 2 hours to cut the field, so I started on it about 6:30 am Wednesday morning. I wanted to be through before it got too hot. Well everything was going great until about 8:25 am. when the mower suddenly quit without warning. Seeing as how a tank of gas usually last about two hours in my mower, I immediately new what the problem was. I started grumbling right off the bat " 10 more minutes and I would have been finished. Why couldn't it last just 10 more minutes" I whined to myself as I walked back to the house for more gas, about a quarter of a mile. When I picked up the first gas can, it was empty, so was the next one. They were all empty. I grumbled some more as I got in the truck to drive the 11 or so miles to the gas station. "10 more minutes and I would have been through. Why couldn't it have lasted 10 more minutes" "I could've been through by now!" As I pumped the gas, I heard a strange loud noise. I looked up to see about eight people getting out of a Chevy Blazer. I could see that it had a dealer tag on it from a used car lot. They were all going to the front of the suv. As I leaned to look around the gas pumps it was evident what the noise was. The front left tire was leaning severely and something was laying on the ground under the suv. The ball joint had broken.
My first thoughts were, "Boy I sure am glad that's not me" "Dealer tag from a used car lot, probably not even paid off yet" Probably sold as is." Talk about your bad luck, they had it. As they all stood there looking at it, a little old lady leaned down, looked under the car and said "Yep, it's broke." That was the first thing that any of them said. The next thing caught me off guard. She said " Ain't God good !" All I had seen was a broke car. She ,however, had seen a gracious God. If the wheel had come off 5 minutes sooner, or 5 minutes later all of them might have been killed or severely injured in a wreck. God is good ! All the time ! Father forgive me my sins, and thank you for letting me run out of gas, at just the right time. "Ain't God good!" Amen Jay
I do not know how serious it is, but I just received a call that a member of my church was injured on the job while using a piece of heavy equipment. He is a single father with 4 children, their mother died in a car accident about 7 or 8 years ago. please be in prayer for them. His name is Clay Clark.
GBU, Jay Update: I just received an update. It looks like he has a broken neck, and is paralyzed on the left side. 2nd update: The doctors have now determined Clays neck is NOT broken. He will NOT be paralyzed. He does however have a broken shoulder and 6 broke ribs. He is expected to make a full recovery. Thanks to all who have prayed for Clay so far. Please continue to pray for Clay, he is part of our Easter, Christmas, and Mothers Day crowd. It is very possible that this may be a wake up call for him.
My family is on our yearly mission trip with Carpenters For Christ out of Birmingham,Al. They are working on a church in Vidalia, Ga. My wife just called me to tell me one of the missionaries has fallen from a 3 story scaffold. He was conscious when the ambulance left for the hospital. Other than that we do not know the extent of his injuries. He is an elderly man. His name is Ken Higdon. Thank you in advance for your prayers. I will update as soon as I know more. God bless you all, Jay WOW...God is SOOO Good ! My wife just called....Ken is back on the job site...just a few bruises! Our God is an awesome GOd!
Youth Sunday
This morning we had a special kind of service. Most of the adults were given the day of, and the youth led us. They taught us in sunday school, they were the choir, took up the offering, and other "duties" normaly handled by us adults. My 15 year old daughter, Jennifer, taught the preschool class. Jacob, my youngest at 14, helped his sister-in-law Felicia,21, teach 1st-3rd grade. Other youth were asigned to the remainder of the classes, young and old. This mornings service was also special in another way. It was started off this morning with baptisms. As the youth sat quietly in the choir loft, the curtain was opened to reveal our pastor. He opened in prayer, spoke a few words, then introduced my daughter-in-law, Felecia to be baptised. As she left the pool he turned and introduced mry eldest son, Jonathan age 22.(Felicia's husband) He spoke of how Jonathan had realised the baptism he had gone thru as a child was for the wrong reasons, and now here he was to get things right with God in his life and his families. I wathched beaming with pride as the words of Mathew 3:17 came to me. "This is my Son, in whom I am well pleased." I understand how he felt as I watched my own son respond in obedience to Him. After that Jennifer sang a beautiful solo. And Jacob read the morning scripture. And I felt the same pride. I believe each time one of His children is obedient or serves Him, He is just as pleased. And on this day, I am well pleased with all of my children.
THIS SHOULD BE READ AND RE-READ.......THE TRUTH MAY HURT, BUT I HAVE NEVER READ ANYTHING THAT "TOLD IT LIKE IT IS" MORE THAN THIS E-MAIL I JUST WISH I HAD WRITTEN IT MYSELF. "IT HITS THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD" AUTHOR WAS ORIGINALLY CRAIG R. SMITH The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the president. In essence 2/3s of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What we are so unhappy about?'' Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter? Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job? Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year? Maybe it is the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state? Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter? I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings. Or if, while at home w atching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell phones and computers. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world? Maybe that is what has 67 percent of you folks unhappy. Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here. I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me? Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the "Media" told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an ''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig. So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans? Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by "justifying" them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane! Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative. "With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?" REWRITTEN AND CHANGED THROUGH COURSE OF EMAILS AND SUCH SO FINAL AUTHOR IS UNKNOWN I SUPPPOSE..
